Fancy Bazaar at the Wellington Barracks, St. James's-Park, 1856. Fundraising in London. 'The committee of ladies who during the last two years have been occupied in the praiseworthy task of assisting and providing employment for the wives and children of Guardsmen on foreign service in the East having ascertained that a nursery and infant-school were much needed, wherein the younger children of the Brigade of Guards might be tended and instructed during their mothers' daily absence at work, a subscription has been opened with a view of carrying out that object...a Grand Fancy Fair was held in aid of the funds for erecting the necessary buildings...The bazaar was fitted up in six large marquees...The bands of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards attended during each day, and played a selection from the most eminent composers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
